A few weeks ago, I spotted a post here from a gentleman in Loreauville LA who had a Bon Cajun he was considering selling. I contacted him, I now have the accordion, and he is off to pursue purchase of another.
"Ben Franklin" responded to my post with "A fool and his money are soon parted." But I know quality and value, know the accordion market, and in spite of "Ben", this is wisdom, not foolishness. I love Larry's accordions, and he's a good friend, so this was an easy decision. She's a real beauty, key of "A", red stain on curly maple, black end plates and trim, and flat top metal buttons-very cool. I'd post a picture if I could figure out how!
Take care, Chuck in Indianapolis.

I am also challenged to run with the webworld... so I emailed my jpeg to Joanie and she was kind enough to put the picture up.

I sent it to: joan@maison-t-bayou.com

I have a Larry Miller "A" box in Zebrawood.. I have owned nearly 15 Cajun accordions from many different makers and in many keys. I have heard good and bad on all makers.. and many many contradictions.

This Larry Miller box is one box I would never consider selling.. I love how it plays, sounds, looks, feels..

You've made a wise investment !

Ditto. I have 3, D,C,Bb. I had the distinct pleasure of hearing both Kevin Naquin and Brian Jack's drummer (I apologize for forgetting his name) play my C last weekend and boy did it sound good!
Red with black ends is a beautiful combo. I've seen it on other boxes. Nice purchase. Enjoy Bro.

Here's a pic for you. (click the link above) It was kinda sad watching them pack the box to ship it, but I'll be getting a new Martin B flat built almost exactly like this one. I'm already having withdrawls

One thing is that I think Larry's red is a brighter red than the Martins (at least looking at the Martin color sample chart, maybe I'll think different once I get it)

I went to band practice the other night with the band that I saw where the guy had the B flat Falcon that I fell in love with. I got to play a song with it with the band, pretty cool.

I was set on a Falcon, but I also always wanted a Martin since 99 so I'll finally get one, I just have to wait a couple more months for mine to be built, I'm getting it wet tuned, but set where you can push a stop down and make it dry.

Can't wait.

Tony Broussard

I didn't want to identify Tony by name without his permission, so I'm glad he checked in. He was a real pleasure to deal with, I think we're both happy with the transaction! I'll send a picture of my Bon Cajun in "C" that Larry made for me last year out of Brazilian Rosewood I found and shipped to him. A different kind of Beautiful than the red and black one from Tony, but a beauty none the less. Saute la Barierre, in case any of our Augusta class are checking!
Chuck.
